Best bullet journal notebooks
First things first: How do you pick out the right notebook for your bullet journal? There are a lot of options out there, and some bullet journal notebooks will be more structured than others. Silk + Sonder, for example, is a type of bullet journal with a lot of structure to it.
But if you're looking for a bullet journal that's more of a blank page, consider:
A dotted journal notebook
Dot grid paper is an easy way to keep things neat and tidy in your bullet journal, since for the most part you're doing more than writing in your bullet journal. You're creating charts, calendars, and even drawing pictures — why would you want to be bound by lines? Some high quality dot journal notebooks worth checking out include:
- RETTACY Dotted Bullet Grid Journal
- MOO Hardcover Notebook (Dotted)
- Maisie Lane Co Dotted Bullet Journals
A blank notebook
Dot grid paper may keep things neat, but a blank notebook will provide you with even more freedom. Here are our favorite blank notebooks for journaling:
